A Special Visit to the Hiram College Library Archives!
We were thrilled to welcome history blogger Thomas Watson, who traveled all the way from Michigan with his wife, granddaughter, and a very special travel companion—a Thomas Jefferson bobblehead! 
He documents his journeys to historical sites, with a particular focus on past presidents. Check it out: https://eyesofjefferson.com/
Joining him was Tim Garfield, the great-great-grandson of President James A. Garfield and First Lady Lucretia Garfield. 
During their visit, they explored some of our unique Garfield treasures, including:
Original Garfield family lithographs
A silver water pitcher gifted to Garfield by a hose brigade during his campaign
A giant folio of newspaper clippings documenting Garfield's assassination and the trial of his assassin
An original presidential campaign pin from Garfield's 1880 campaign
A heartfelt letter written by Garfield to Hiram College (then Western Reserve Eclectic Institute) as a "farewell for now"
It was an afternoon filled with history, storytelling, and connections to the past! We’re honored to have shared this glimpse into the legacy of one of Hiram’s most notable alumni.
